Controversial NHL legend Bobby Hull, the Blackhawks\u2019 all-time leading scorer whose on-ice accomplishments were overshadowed by off-ice issues, had stage two chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) at the time of his death in January 2023, the Concussion Legacy Foundation said in a release Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The Hall of Fame forward showed symptoms of CTE \u2014 including short-term memory loss and impaired judgement \u2014 \u201cfor the last nearly 10 years of his life,\u201d according to the release.<\/p>\n
The family of Hull, who was 84 years old when he died, had donated his brain to the UNITE Brain Bank at the Boston University CTE Center. <\/p>\n
\u201cSeeing the pain and heartache suffered by his lifetime friend Stan Mikita\u2019s family, Bobby felt strongly no other family should have to endure CTE,\u201d Hull\u2019s wife, Deborah, said in a statement published with the release. \u201cHe insisted on donating his brain, feeling as though it was his duty to help advance research on this agonizing disease.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hull, inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983, spent 15 years playing with the Blackhawks while collecting 604 goals and 1,153 points, in addition to his production from other stints with Winnipeg and Hartford in the WHA and NHL.<\/p>\n
But after his career, Hull\u2019s reputation was tarnished by controversies.<\/p>\n
Hull\u2019s ex-wife, Joanne, accused him of harrowing domestic abuse in an interview with ESPN for a \u201cSportsCentury\u201d documentary in 2002.<\/p>\n
In 1986, after a police officer stepped in during a dispute between Hull and Deborah, he pleaded guilty to assaulting the officer \u2014 and Deborah also dropped a battery charge against Hull after the incident.<\/p>\n
And in 1998, Hull said Adolf Hitler \u201chad some good ideas,\u201d according to the Chicago Tribune \u2014 while being quoted by the Moscow Times, though he denied that he made those statements.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Concussion Legacy Foundation CEO and former pro wrestler Chris Nowinski said in the release that the NHL \u201cstill shamelessly refuses to acknowledge this scientific truth\u201d between hockey and CTE.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are grateful to Bobby Hull and all of the NHL players and families who are helping us learn how to prevent, diagnose, and treat CTE,\u201d said Boston University CTE Center director Dr. Ann McKee said in a statement. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe encourage retired players and their families to reach out for help and care if they are concerned about CTE, as we are learning how to effectively treat symptoms, especially in midlife.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
